Right there, at the top of the page...Dual. Am I missing something? Shouldn't it be spelled Duel?

It's a pun. There are 2 races, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Not unless they have the drivers relentlessly pursued by a large menacing truck with no glimpse of who is driving it.

Yeah, the duel is with the folks who want 'em to stop racing on the Isle.

It's duel. New Grand Prix rules state in case of tie, the two drivers, armed with pistols, start back to back, walk 10 paces, turn and fire. Winner take all.

That's really the only way they can compete with NASCAR.

Penske is a Detroit booster and seems like a decent enough guy. He manages to sell his corporate buddies all the hospitality suites but how many Indy car fans actually exist in the Detroit area? Mind you they've had rotten luck with weather, crumbling asphalt, etc. but when was the last yr. they actually published paid attendance?
